Melue v1.1.1
The mini player in its place, and moving around with the keyboard made smooth.
- The mini player sits just above the tray icon again, also after sleep or a change of display scaling (it grew taller
and covered the icon). - Holding an arrow in a list scrolls smoothly and keeps up; the page keeps a little room around what's selected, so the
title comes into view bit by bit. - Ctrl+↑ / ↓ always scroll, whatever is selected (a selected dropdown opened instead), and the arrows then go on from
what's on screen. - Settings: ← and → stay within a setting's row (← from its first control goes out to the pages), and moving onto
buttons like Now / Next no longer jumps the page. - A button that turns itself off (Back at the first step) hands the selection to what's above it.
- The arrows work in the welcome guide and New in Melue.
Melue v1.1.0
The mini player in the tray, a welcome guide for new devices, and New in Melue.
- The mini player: right-click Melue's icon in the tray for what plays, the controls and the volume, without opening
Melue. It's ready at once (unless Melue neither starts with Windows nor stays in the tray when closed). - Global shortcuts on a computer: the volume and the player from any app (Ctrl+Alt+arrows and more), held to repeat,
each changeable, with a right-click reset. - A welcome guide on a new device: your share and your music folders on one page, a few settings that come down to
taste (the look, with Adaptive; mobile data, with its limits), and this device's name. Connecting the share starts
the first sync. - New in Melue: after an update with something new, its big features show themselves, live, and new settings are
asked like the guide asks them. Also in About, next to What's new. - A share played straight from a drive (streamed) works with everything: playback across devices, likes and plays,
playlists, playing on another device. It shows as Streamed, in purple, and its button syncs likes and playlists. - Disconnecting from another device takes over what it plays, paused, while it keeps playing.
- A play counts as soon as the song has played long enough, and Most played updates at once, the song gliding to its
new place. - Bug reports: delete one (from your other devices too); a sent one goes by itself a week after its issue is closed.
- About is in three parts: Melue, Help and Troubleshooting. Folders on a phone read as "Phone storage / Music / ...".
- A sync that stops getting answers from the share gives up and tries again, instead of waiting for ever; a successful
sync lets playback across devices look again at once. - A reinstalled phone app starts clean (Android's backup doesn't bring old data back).
Melue v1.0.4
Fixes from the first bug reports sent from the app.
- Signing in to GitHub on a phone works: it waits while you're in the browser entering the code (Android cuts a
background app's network), and says so plainly when GitHub can't be reached. - A bug report saved to send later is sent once, not again by its own device after another one sent it.
- Melue looks for an update a few seconds after it starts (and again when you come back to it after a while, or after
a look that failed), and asks about one only when nothing else is open, so the question isn't lost. - Made for you has a playlist for your music folder even when you have only one.
- Settings no longer bobs up and down on a phone while a sync or a scan changes what's above.
Melue v1.0.3
Smoother resizing, and long playlists that scroll as short ones do.
- Long song lists (playlists, the queue, albums) draw only the songs in view, so resizing the window and scrolling
stay smooth. Dragging a song to a new place scrolls the list when held near its top or bottom edge. - Resizing the window keeps the songs you were looking at in place.
- "This device", "Not here yet" and "Only in Melue" show as icons when a song's line is short of room, all of a list's
together; "Only in Melue" has its own icon (Spotify's, or a file's, slashed). The album and length columns slide in
and out as the list gets wider or narrower, and songs without them give their room to the title. - A start-up error on phones is gone.
- Security updates: the updater's zip library, and the build tools (Vite, source-map-js).
Melue v1.0.2
Playing across devices when a song is only on one of them, and smaller touches.
- A song that's only on one device now always continues on your others, even from an album or playlist none of
whose songs they have: they show it, and wait with nothing to play until you pick something. Pausing, seeking and
switching between such songs count as new too, and the song that waits is the one that plays next, with shuffle
and repeat all. - "This device" and "Not on this device yet" beside a song's title are the device's icon, plain or slashed; with
room beside the title, a badge with words, easing between the two as the window changes. - A song without a cover shows the note at a size that fits on Home's Playing card, in a song's menu and in the
computer's player bar (it was empty there). - Likes, plays and playlists no longer fail to sync now and then while another device reads the same file.
- The computer's player bar narrows smoothly, without the controls jumping.
- A Spotify playlist's menu has "Update from Spotify" (a long one that changed there opens its update's steps), and
"Copy their Spotify links": links to the songs you don't have, to paste into a playlist in Spotify on a computer
(Ctrl+V) and get them there. Opening a Spotify playlist reads it again, so it's as Spotify has it now. - Spotify playlists get songs just added on Spotify (they could be missing for a long while), and one with a few
songs Spotify doesn't show is no longer taken for a playlist of over 100.
Melue v1.0.1
Fixes from the first days with 1.0, and a few things that make sharing and playing across devices smoother.
- Add a music folder that's on your NAS, and Melue offers to use it as your share: copied to this computer, or
played straight from it (also in the folder's ⋯ menu). A folder Melue can't open says why, instead of "0 songs". - Music folders show their full path, and say when your synced music inside one is left out (it's in your library
already). - Settings you changed before setting up a share or adding a device now go to your other devices, instead of being
replaced by their defaults. A setting changed on another device shows right away, without a restart. "Keep a
screenshot with reports", "Ask when an update is found" and the volume steps now sync too. - Spotify playlists match more of your songs: artists written with "/" and downloads a few seconds longer or
shorter. "Find song" (a song that isn't here: ⋯, right-click or a long press) lets you pick one of your songs for
it, kept and synced to your other devices. - Clearing the player sticks: it stays empty after a restart, clears the device you're playing on when connected,
and clears your other devices set to Follow. - On a phone, the mini player stays when nothing's loaded (a Display setting hides it), and a long press on it has
Connect device and Clear the player. The status bar's icons follow Melue's theme, "Playing on" no longer covers the
full-size lyrics' buttons, the lyrics card on Now playing no longer scrolls by mistake, and choosing a folder
starts in Music. - The Library's counts update after a sync, a GitHub sign-in shows its code in a note and reaches your other
devices within seconds, and Windows shows Melue's publisher as Sjims05.
Melue v1.0.0
Melue 1.0: your own music on your computer and your phone, finished and documented.
- A new front page on GitHub: what Melue does, with screenshots of both, where to download it, how to set it up,
what goes online, and answers to common questions. Melue is now open source under the MIT license. - The light theme's page is a softer grey, a little lighter than before, so the white cards stand out without
contrast that's too strong. - On a phone, the status bar and navigation bar icons follow Melue's theme: dark icons on the light theme, where
they used to stay white and disappear. - Melue now reports its real version in its log and to the services it uses (it said 0.6.3).
- Melue can be built from source without the release signing key.
Melue v0.8.0
Spotify playlists in Melue, and your music folders followed as they change.
- Spotify playlists (Playlists: Add from Spotify): paste a public playlist's link, no sign-in or Premium needed. Its
songs are matched to the ones you have; the others show greyed, and their list can be copied. It follows the
playlist on Spotify by itself, with Spotify's own picture as its cover (or its songs' covers, if you like). - A playlist with more than 100 songs gets its full list from a CSV (Update list: the link is copied and the exporter
opens; on a computer Melue picks the download up by itself). A "!" says when it changed on Spotify since. - Spotify playlists sync to your other devices like your own playlists, with your changes (songs removed show greyed,
with Restore). Stop following Spotify keeps it as your own playlist, on every device. - Keep only on this device asks what happens on your other devices: keep their copy, or delete it from them (syncing
it again brings it back). - On a computer, Melue watches your music folders: a song added, changed or removed shows up by itself, and fills in
a playlist's greyed song. - Songs added to or removed from a playlist on another device unfold and fold away in place.
- Toasts can be tapped: "Added to …" opens the playlist with the song pointed out, a song added to the queue opens Up
next, and others open where they're about. On a phone, toasts show on Now playing too.
Melue v0.7.0
Play on your other devices: your phone on your computer's speakers, or the other way round, like Spotify Connect for
your own music.
- Connect device (the player bar's speaker button, Now playing, a drawer on the phone): what plays here carries on
on the device you pick, and this one becomes its remote: the song, the controls, the seek bar, Up next and the
volume are that device's. "This device" brings it back; either device can disconnect, and the music goes on. - A pill where toasts show says where the music is ("Playing on …", "Played from …"); tap it for Connect device.
- Settings, Across devices: your devices and which are online; "Let other devices play here" (On, Ask first, Off);
the volume's steps on a phone and, on a phone, its volume buttons' steps on a computer. - Playing on a phone, the volume is the phone's own, in its steps. On the phone, the notification, the lock screen,
the media card and the volume buttons control the device it plays on. - Likes show on both devices at once while connected; a dropped connection comes back by itself within a minute.
- Since 0.6.0: the volume shows as a number as it changes; the phone's lyrics follow every song again; pressing play
just after Melue starts is no longer undone by Continue.
Melue v0.6.0
Melue's first release: your own music on every device.
- Your music folders on a computer and a phone, and an SMB share (a NAS) that keeps them in sync: songs, likes,
plays, playlists and settings, with Android Auto on the phone. - Continue on one device what another was playing; lyrics, timed and tappable; playlists that follow their files.
- Melue updates itself on computers and phones, says what's new, and lets you report a bug from the app.
- Since 0.5.22: the "Continue from …" card shows the song's cover and the whole device name, and a song you put in
the synced folder yourself (not on the share) no longer counts as one to move into the share's layout.
